LSG vs RCB Match 50, IPL 2026: Preview, Predicted XIs, Player Tips & Match Prediction

LSG vs RCB Match 50, Cricket Tips :Lucknow Super Giants are going through a terrible time on the field, and they are very close to becoming the first team to be eliminated from the IPL 2026. The bottom-ranked LSG have lost seven matches, and one more defeat will end their campaign. LSG will now face Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Lucknow. This contest will be held at Ekana Stadium on Thursday at 7:30 PM IST. LSG have already lost one game against RCB, and they can't afford another defeat. RCB were hammered by Gujarat Titans in the last game, and they will also be a little under pressure. But their overall performance this season has kept them in the top three. LSG vs RCB: Match Details Date : May 7, 2026 (Thursday) Time : 7:30 PM IST Venue : Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow LSG vs RCB Live Streaming Details The live action of the LSG vs RCB contest on Thursday will be televised on the Star Sports Networks in India. Fans can also watch the game through the JioHotstar app or website. LSG vs RCB Head-to-Head in IPL Total Matches : 07 LSG : 02 RCB : 05 No - Result : 00 LSG vs RCB: Ground Pitch Report Ekana Stadium offers a tricky surface. The wicket is slow and sticky, where bowlers have enough help to bowl with. Spinners will be more effective on this surface because of the slow and low wicket. There will be dew in the second innings, which will make the decision of chasing an ideal one. LSG vs RCB Possible XIs LSG : Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Josh Inglis, Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran, Akshat Raghuwanshi, Himmat Singh, Mohammed Shami, Mohsin Khan, Avesh Khan, Prince Yadav RCB : Rajat Patidar (c), Virat Kohli, Jacob Bethell, Devdutt Padikkal, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Tim David, Romario Shepherd, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Suyash Sharma, Josh Hazlewood LSG vs RCB Player to Watch Out For Probable Best Batter Virat Kohli has been the top scorer for RCB, and he will be the one to watch out for. Nicholas Pooran slammed a quick fifty in the last game and looked in good form. He can be difficult to stop. Probable Best Bowler Josh Hazlewood won the MOTM award in the last meeting against LSG and will be a difficult bowler to face on the slow wicket in Lucknow. For LSG, Mohammed Shami will be key, because he gets early wickets with the new ball. Today Match Prediction : LSG have not been at their best, and they are struggling. Hence, we predict RCB to win this game.

Supreme Court surprised as rats destroy evidence claim leads to bail in Bihar graft case

New Delhi, May 06: The Supreme Court has granted bail to a former Bihar government official accused in a corruption case, expressing surprise over claims that crucial evidence seized currency notes was destroyed by rats in a police evidence room, reported Bar and Bench. A Bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and K V Viswanathan suspended the four-year sentence of former Child Development Programme Officer Aruna Kumari, noting that the key evidence in the case was no longer available. We are taken by surprise that the currency notes got destroyed by rodents, the Bench observed while granting bail. The Court also flagged the incident as a serious lapse, pointing to possible revenue loss for the State. We wonder how many such currency notes get destroyed as they are not kept at a safe place. Its a huge revenue loss, it remarked. The case dates back to 2019, when Bihars Economic Offences Unit conducted a trap operation, alleging Kumari had accepted a bribe of 10,000. The money was seized, sealed and deposited in the police malkhana as primary evidence. However, during trial, the prosecution said the cash could not be produced because rodents had infested the storage room and destroyed the envelope containing the notes. While a trial court had earlier acquitted Kumari, the Patna High Court in 2025 overturned the acquittal and convicted her, holding that the absence of physical evidence did not weaken the case, citing records and circumstantial proof. The Supreme Court, however, found the explanation unconvincing, stating that the claim of destruction by rodents does not inspire any confidence. It has indicated that the issue will be examined further. The ruling has raised fresh questions over evidence preservation in police malkhanas and the integrity of criminal investigations.
